I know the smirk and smile look. I used to ask my Mexican neighbors in Capistrano Beach if
they had Green Cards.

Full coverage on our 2003 Jetta in Tijuana is about $500 a year (Mex plates).

That isn't as bad as I thought. The full coverage price is high.

Having insurance in Mexico for foreigners is not mandated by law....only common sense.
I'm sure rental vehicles have rules of their own.
After reading what I wrote, I think I have it all backwards.
Anyway, take what works and leave the rest.

The locals know how to get their cars fixed fast and cheap after a wreck. Why pay for insurance? My nephews girlfriend was broadsided in a hot and
run a few weeds back. She got a "new" driver and rear passenger door for $50 and was out of the shop for under $100 with paint. Insurance for
Mexicans doesn't make economic sense. That's not right imho- but it is waht it is.

Some do. When you see a vehicle parked in a yard, covered with a blue tarp, you know what happened.
